Proving to myself anything is possible even it takes over 9 hours and the pain is slowly setting in. This hike was a bitch and before doing it I thought I've done worse and boy was I wrong. 9.2 miles and 4000 ft of gain making it the biggest hike of the summer. I'm so tired. If I you need me I'll be crawling to the door when the dominoes driver arrives ✌🏽️ #hike #mailboxpeak #fatgirlshiking #unlikelyhikers #hiking #hikeyourownhike #womenwhohike (at Mailbox Peak)
We were those people on the trail. But when your Disney vacation was cancelled you wear your totally cheesy tie-dyed matching Mickey shirts. #friends #hiking #friendswhohike #mailboxpeak #hikersofcolor #unlikelyhikers (at Mailbox Peak)
I visited an old friend today, #mailboxpeak - and, I’ll be so sore that I won’t be able to walk normally for the next 3 days. (at Mailbox Peak) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca-7_vApWP_/?utm_medium=tumblr
Mailbox Peak is one of those daredevil hikes people go on just to brag about it on social media. 4000 ft of elevation gain in 3 miles (or 6, if you go on the new trail), and there's a colorful mailbox on top that's plastered with a bunch of stickers you can take a picture with. It seems like the kind of thing you'd put on your college bucket list to tackle while you're still young and reckless. I first heard about the trail through seeing a couple ladies I knew post about it on social media-- and my young, reckless college brain vowed to one day trace the steps of those pairs of suave Gore-Tex boots clad in tight yoga pants. (I was and still am a connoisseur of yoga pants and the shapely beings that don them.)
Officially a published writer on Vocal Media! Hopefully the first piece of many to come! I originally wrote this for the Outdoor Shots challenge, but decided to spend more time polishing the ending. There’s no such thing as good writing, only good rewriting.

Life is such a complex phenomenon that I try to worry less about where it's leading me and instead enjoy the journey more. And occasionally, as they say, "stop and smell the roses". (in this case it was to hike 4K ft of elevation to check out some inspiring mail at Mailbox peak) La vida es un fenómeno tan complicado que yo trato de preocuparme menos por a donde me esta llevando y mejor disfrutar el viaje más. Y ocasionalmente, cómo dicen en inglés, "parar a oler las rosas". (en este caso fue caminar 4 mil pies de elevación para leer unas cartas muy inspiradoras en Mailbox peak) . . . . . #lifeisgood #enjoythejourney #stopandsmelltheroses #inspiringmail #mailboxpeak (at Mailbox Peak) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1RC0HCFLxS/?igshid=77rnndv6yeb2
